Great reminder of what is ahead, stepping out of the door this morning on my way to the #AUSpaceForum @AndyThomasSpace #ATSF17. The team at @plants4space is developing some important tech for @Nasa #Artemis. Talking at the first session starting 830am if you want to hear more.

Here is a summary of our key findings👇

[ryan lister @ry_lister]

Our new CRISPRi-based synthetic gene circuit platform for programmable, reversible control of gene expression in plants 🌱 @NatureBiotech. A compact and modular logic gate system with useful new capabilities for plant engineering https://t.co/fBxvpWc5AZ

[Dr Jenny Mortimer @Jenny_Mortimer1]

Back in the Bay for @SynBioBeta representing @plants4space as part of an Australian #synbio delegation. So excited that the first session was all about Space featuring astronaut @Astro_Kate7 and @mason_lab 🚀

[Dr James Lloyd @JamesPBLloyd]

New paper out from @plants4space & @SMS_UWA led by @fkvdg_ looking for RNA editing in an understudied group of plants! Just think how useful this can be for synbio!
